Hi everyone!

 

Okay this might be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway I've been trying ATC software and P2ATC was recommended to me via a fellow VA pilot.

 

My questions are this, I am aware that this software takes advantage of Navdata, but how well is this translated back in to aircraft navigation. For example! I've been doing a lot of IFR flights in a dash8, in the mountainous area of Norway. Can P2ATC correctly get me through an approach without trying to bury me in a mountain? And I assume as it uses navdata it will give descent instructions in line with approach plates?

 

And the final one, every now and then we all have to walk away from the keyboard for a few moments, can the FO handle Comms while I'm away from the keyboard?

 

I'm sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I hope someone could answer these questions:)

 

Cheers Rob

Hi,

 

On approach you will recive a STAR with active runway Approach and transition. You need to fly by charts. If you want you can request vectors.

I never was vectored by atc on P2A, and i do not know what happend if you go out of the approach.

I think the FO can handle comms because there is a copilot option "Respond to radio" and "change frequencies". i never use this feature.

 

I sugest you to install the v2 beta, have 10 days trial and comes with the airac1605.Then you will be sure how P2A handle IFR approach and you will find more things. Report any problem please. I fly in IFR and i want to know how it works too.

Yes, P2A takes care of altitude restrictions if you check the related option.

So you should avoid the mountain collision
